Really like this place, we stayed elsewhere earlier in the year, wish we hadn’t. The management & staff were all very approachable and welcoming. Great fresh food of an evening and breakfast offering good too. All you need in the room BUT Pillows may need attention, (that’s not a negative just preference) Will be heading back soon

Staff were attentive and kind. Room was very spacious and spotlessly clean. Shower was excellent. The pub itself offered a wide range of drinks which were reasonably priced. The food (££’s priced) was well cooked / presented and above the standard we have encountered in similar PH’s. The included Continental Breakfast was reasonably extensive and provided a good start to our day. Our only ‘minor’ observations for consideration are: 1) The provision of some basic clothing storage (shelves) in the room would be useful. Also, we had a bedside table on one side - an additional on the other would be handy. 2) The selection of fruit and cakes within the Breakfast was better on the Tuesday morning, presumably after weekend restocking. We do point out that the selection on our first morning (Monday) was OK (adequate), it was just noticeably larger on the Tuesday. Both 1) and 2) are definitely NOT criticisms and we had a lovely stay in this Robinsons establishment. Thank to the friendly and helpful staff and management.
